Reykjavik: Northern Lights Small Group With Local Hunters

The Northern lights is so elusive but Roman made every effort for us to find one though it was so faint due to weather condition. The Magic Iceland Tour is reliable and offered another tour for free for us to see the Northern lights better. We will do Magic Iceland tour again next time we go to Iceland.

Beware, if that's your first time you need to know that 99% of the time you'll only see some kind of gray clouds above your head. Only your camera can pick it up correctly because the lens is focused for several seconds of pause. Rarely you'll see them like they're on the pictures. You also need to know that it takes an average of 3 times before being able to see them. It's only up to the weather and the lack of clouds (the real one) on the sky. For me it looks me 6 tries. Yes, 6. That being said, it was done in a small bus of 17 people in total. You won't have a long explanation about this phenomenon, that's not included in the price. You also will be taken in the most touristic spots, so you'll meet other travelers. If you think you'd be alone, think again. That's not what you're paying for. Nevertheless that was a great experience because we were able to see a lot of them that night. My patience, after 5 previous tries finally paid of. As it comes to the organization, they'll give you hot drink because as you can guess, it was freezing, especially since I had to take off my gloves to take the pics. The excursion lasted approximately less than 3 hours and worth Ed every penny. I recommend it.

Roman was awesome! We did the northern lights tour.

Super guide roman. Tolle lichter

Unfortunately, this was a really scary experience. The driver was going extremely fast in near white out conditions. We slid going around every turn. At one point we nearly slid off the road into a body of water. At this point the driver actually sped up instead of slowing down! The driver was very nice and we did see the northern lights. However, I feared for my safety the entirety of this trip.

Roman was a Great guide, very enthusiastic. Took pictures with his camera and sent them to us. Just know that when you go to meet your bus, there will be several more buses at the same pick up site. Maybe 20. That part was a bit hectic. Will not give away the surprise 😉

Fabulous trip, gorgeous lights, Roman was a delight as the most enthusiastic tour guide ever!

Our Northern Lights tour was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized, and our guide, Román, made the whole trip even more special. During the journey he shared some interesting facts about the history of Iceland and also explained how and why the Northern Lights are formed, which made witnessing the phenomenon even more exciting. At the beginning it was a bit difficult to catch them, but Román was constantly monitoring the activity and looking for the best spot. After a while he told us that the best option would be to change locations. It turned out to be the perfect decision. The moment we got out of the van at the second spot, the show began. The lights appeared in the sky in such an incredible way — it was truly an amazing and unforgettable sight. The tour also included hot chocolate, which was delicious. In my opinion the portion was a bit small and we didn’t get a chance to have a refill, but it was still a very nice touch. On top of that, Román surprised us with a traditional Icelandic drink and a typical local food. The food was definitely unusual and probably not for everyone, but the drink was very good. I won’t say exactly what they were so I don’t ruin the surprise for future guests, but it definitely added a special plus to the whole adventure. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to witness the magic of the Northern Lights in Iceland.

Really good and very fun tour, Roman was excellent as both host and his knowledge of the lights and area. We managed to see some very strong activity and had a great time
